DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  BUILDINGS. 


HE  ADMINISTRATION  BUILDING,  in  the  style  of  the  French 
Renaissance,  was  designed  by  Mr.  Richard  M.  Hunt,  President  of 
the  American  Institute  of  Architects.  It  consists  of  a  large  central 
square,  covered  by  a  dome,  with  four  pavilions  at  the  angles,  each  pavilion 
covering  84  feet  square.  At  the  centre  of  each  facade,  between  the  pavilions, 
are  recesses  in  which  are  situated  the  principal  entrances  to  the  building, 
50  feet  wide  and  fifty  feet  high,  deeply  recessed  and  covered  by  semi-circular 
arched  vaults. 

The  principal  feature  of  this  building  is  the  gilded  dome,  which  rivals, 
if  it  does  not  actually  surpass  the  most  famous  structures  of  its  class  in  the 
world.  It  consists  of  an  outer  and  an  inner  dome,  the  former  220  feet  in 
height  and  1 20  feet  in  diameter,  the  latter  200  feet  in  height  and  beautifully 
decorated  on  the  inside  with  sculptured  panels  and  paintings  representing 
the  arts  and  sciences.  In  the  centre  is  an  aperture,  50  feet  in  diameter,  ad¬ 
mitting  a  flood  of  light  from  the  exterior  dome  overhead. 

The  interior  of  the  building  is  as  striking  as  the  exterior,  the  great 
rotunda  and  the  loggias  connecting  the  principal  entrances  therewith,  being 
imposing  in  size  and  artistically  decorated.  The  total  cost  of  this  building, 
which  will  be  one  of  the  finest  on  the  grounds,  will  be  $450,000. 

THE  EINE  ARTS  GALLERY,  situated  in  the  northern  portion 
of  the  park,  is  of  the  Grecian-Ionic  style  of  architecture.  The  building,  which 
is  entirely  fire-proof,  is  oblong  in  shape,  500  by  320  feet,  and  intersected  at 
right  angles  by  a  nave  and  transept,  too  feet  wide  and  70  feet  high,  at  the 
intersection  of  which  is  a  dome  60  feet  in  diameter.  This  dome,  425  feet  in 
height,  is  surmounted  by  a  colossal  reproduction  of  the  Winged  Victory. 
Around  the  entire  building  are  galleries  forming  a  continuous  promenade, 
and  between  this  gallery  and  the  naves  are  the  smaller  rooms  devoted  to  pri¬ 
vate  collections  of  paintings  and  the  collections  of  the  different  art  schools. 
The  main  floor  of  the  nave  and  transept  will  be  devoted  to  sculpture  exclu¬ 


sively,  and  on  the  walls  both  of  the  ground  floor  and  of  the  galleries  is  space 
for  the  display  of  paintings  and  haul  and  bas-reliefs.  The  corners  made  by 
the  intersection  of  nave  and  transept  are  to  be  utilized  as  smaller  picture 
galleries.  On  either  side  of  the  main  building  are  large  annexes,  which  are 
also  to  be  utilized  for  art  exhibits. 

The  main  building  is  entered  by  four  great  portals,  richly  ornamented 
with  architectural  sculpture,  and  approached  by  broad  flights  of  steps.  The 
walls  of  the  loggia  of  the.  colonnades  are  highly  decorated  with  mural  paint¬ 
ings,  illustrating  the  history  and  progress  of  the  arts.  The  frieze  of  the  ex¬ 
terior  walls  and  the  pediments  of  the  principal  entrances  are  ornamented  with 
sculptures  and  portraits  in  bas-relief  of  the  masters  of  ancient  art.  The 
grounds  around  the  building  will  be  ornamented  with  groups,  replicas  of 
classic  art,  statues,  etc. 

THE  ELECTRICITY  BUILDING,  which  will  contain  probably 
the  most  noteworthy  and  interesting  exhibit  the  world  has  ever  seen,  con¬ 
sists  of  a  nave  700  feet  long,  1 1 5  feet  wide  and  1 1 4  feet  high,  crossed  by  a 
transept  345  feet  long,  and  of  the  same  height  and  width.  Both  have  a 
pitched  roof  with  ranges  of  skylights  at  the  bottom  of  the  pitch  and  clear 
story  windows.  The  rest  of  the  building,  68  feet  in  height,  is  covered  with  a 
flat  roof  and  lighted  by  skylights.  At  the  corners  are  pavilions  with  open 
spires,  169  feet  high. 

The  building  has  an  open  portico  extending  along  the  whole  of  the 
south  facade,  the  lower  or  Ionic  order  forming  an  open  screen  in  front  of  it. 
The  various  subordinate  pavilions  are  treated  with  windows  and  balconies. 
The  details  of  the  exterior  orders  are  richly  decorated,  and  the  pediments, 
friezes,  panels  and  spandrels  have  received  a  decoration  of  figures  in  relief, 
with  architectural  motifs,  the  general  tendency  of  which  is  to  illustrate  the 
purposes  of  the  building. 

The  appearance  of  the  exterior  is  that  of  marble,  but  the  walls  of  the 


heinicyde  and  of  the  various  porticos  and  loggia  are  highly  enriched  with 
color,  the  pilasters  in  these  places  being  decorated  with  scagliola,  and  the 
capitals  with  metallic  effects  in  bronze. 

The  designs  for  the  building  were  drawn  by  Messrs.  Van  Brunt  & 
Howe,  architects  at  Kansas  City.  Its  total  cost  when  completed  will  be 
$375,000. 

THE  TRANSPORTATION  BUILDING  recalls,  by  the  simplic¬ 
ity  of  its  architectural  lines,  the  Ecole  des  Beaux  Arts  of  Paris. 

Its  main  entrance  consists  of  an  immense  single  arch,  enriched  to  an 
extraordinary  degree  with  carvings,  bas-reliefs  and  mural  paintings.  N umerous 
minor  entrances  are  adorned  with  drinking  fountains,  statues,  artistic  seats,  etc. 

The  interior  of  the  building  is  treated  much  after  the  manner  of  a 
Roman  basilica,  with  broad  nave  and  aisles.  The  roof  is  therefore  in  three 
divisions.  The  middle  one  rises  much  higher  than  the  others,  and  its  walls 
are  pierced  to  form  a  beautiful  arcaded  clear-storj'.  The  cupola,  placed  exactly 
in  the  centre  of  the  building  and  rising  165  feet  above  the  ground,  is  reached 
by  eight  elevators  ;  these  elevators  of  themselves  naturally  form  a  part  of  the 
Transportation  exhibit. 

The  main  building  of  the  Transportation  exhibit  measures  960  feet 
front  by  250  feet  deep.  From  this  extends  westward  to  Stoney  Island  avenue 
an  enormous  annex,  covering  about  nine  acres.  This  is  one  story  only  in 
height.  In  it  may  be  seen  the  more  bulky  exhibits,  locomotive  engines,  etc. 

The  Transportation  exhibits  naturally  include  everything,  of  whatsoever 
name  or  sort,  devoted  to  the  purpose  of  transportation,  and  range  from  a 
baby  carriage  to  a  mogul  engine,  from  a  cash  conveyor  to  a  balloon  or  carrier 
pigeon.  Technically  this  exhibit  includes  everything  comprised  in  class  G  of 
the  official  classification.  The  Transportation  Building  cost  about  $300,000 
and  was  designed  by  Messrs.  Adler  &  Sullivan  of  Chicago. 

THE  MACHINERY  HALL,  of  which  Messrs.  Peabody  &  Stearns, 
of  Boston,  are  the  architects,  is  one  of  the  most  magnificent  buildings  of  the 
exhibition.  It  measures  850  by  500  feet,  and  is  located  at  the  extreme  south 
end  of  the  Park,  midway  between  the  shore  of  Lake  Michigan  and  the  west 
side  of  the  Park.  Its  cost,  with  the  machinery  annex  and  power  house,  the 
latter  situated  on  the  south  side  of  the  building,  is  about  $1,200,000.  The 
building  IS  spanned  by  three  arched  trusses,  and  the  interior  presents  the 
appearance  of  three  railroad  train-houses  side  by  side,  surrounded  on  all  the 
four  sides  by  a  gallery  50  feet  wide.  The  trusses  are  built  separately,  so 


that  they  can  be  taken  down  and  sold  for  use  as  railroad  train-houses.  In 
each  of  the  long  naves  there  is  an  elevated  traveling  crane  running  from  end 
to  end  of  the  building  for  the  purpose  of  moving  machinery.  These  plat¬ 
forms  are  built  so  that  visitors  may  view  from  them  the  exhibits  beneath. 

THE  MANUEACTURES  AND  LIBERAL  ARTS  BUILD¬ 
ING  is  the  mammoth  structure  of  the  exhibition.  It  is  in  Corinthian  style, 
measures  1,687  t>y  7^7  feet  and  covers  nearly  31  acres,  being  the  largest  ex¬ 
hibition  building  ever  constructed.  Within  the  building  a  gallery  50  feet 
wide  extends  around  all  four  sides,  and  projecting  from  this  are  86  smaller 
galleries,  12  feet  wide,  from  which  visitors  may  survey  the  vast  array  of 
exhibits.  The  galleries  are  approached  upon  the  main  floor  by  30  great 
staircases,  the  flights  of  which  are  12  feet  wide  each.  “Columbia  Avenue,” 
50  feet  wide,  extends  through  the  mammoth  building  longitudinally,  and 
an  avenue  of  like  width  crosses  it  at  right  angles  at  the  centre.  The  main 
roof  is  of  iron  and  glass  and  arches  an  area  385  b)"  1,400  feet,  and  has  its  ridge 
1 50  feet  from  the  ground.  The  building,  including  its  galleries,  has  about  40 
acres  of  floor  space. 

The  exterior  of  the  building  is  covered  with  “staff,”  which  is  treated 
to  represent  marble.  The  long  array  of  columns  and  arches,  which  its  facades 
present,  is  relieved  from  monotony  by  very  elaborate  ornamentation.  In  this 
ornamentation  female  figures,  symbolical  of  the  various  arts  and  sciences, 
play  a  conspicuous  part. 

There  are  four  great  entrances,  one  in  the  centre  of  each  fayade. 
These  are  designed  in  the  manner  of  triumphal  arches,  the  central  archway  of 
each  being  40  feet  wide  and  80  feet  high.  Surmounting  these  portals  is  the 
great  attic  story,  ornamented  with  sculptured  eagles  1 8  feet  high,  and  on  each 
side,  above  the  side  arches,  are  great  panels  with  inscriptions,  and  the 
spandrels  are  filled  with  sculptured  figures  in  bas-relief.  At  each  corner  of  the 
main  building  are  pavilions  forming  great  arched  entrances,  which  are  designed 
in  harmony  with  the  great  portals. 

OMAN  S  BUILDING  is  in  Italian  Renaissance  style  and 
las  een  ui  t  from  the  designs  of  Miss  Sophia  G.  Hayden,  the  successful 
competitor  for  the  prize  of  $1,000  offered  by  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers. 

The  building  stands  ou  the  shore  of  the  lagoon  and  is  reached  by  two 
t^erraces.  The  principal  facade  is  about  400  feet  in  length,  the  depth  of  the 
building  being  about  half  that  distance. 

The  first  story  is  raised  about  ten  feet  from  the  ground  line,  and  a  wide 


staircase  leads  to  the  centre  pavilion.  This  pavilion  forms  the  main  triple- 
arched  entrance,  with  an  open  colonnade  in  the  second  story.  The  corner 
pavilions  have  each  an  open  colonnade  added  above  the  main  cornic^.  Here 
are  located  the  Hanging  Gardens. 

A  lobby  40  feet  wide  leads  into  the  open  rotunda  70  by  65  feet, 
reaching  through  the  height  of  the  building  and  protected  by  a  richly 
ornamented  skylight.  This  rotunda  is  surrounded  by  a  two-story  open  arcade, 
the  whole  having  a  thoroughly  Italian  courtyard  effect,  admitting  abundance 
of  light  to  all  rooms  facing  this  interior  space.  On  the  first  floor  are  located, 
cn  the  left  hand,  a  model  hospital ;  on  the  right,  a  model  kindergarten,  each 
occupying  80  by  60  feet. 

The  whole  floor  of  the  south  pavilion  is  devoted  to  the  retrospective 
exhibit ,  the  one  on  the  north  to  reform  work  and  charity  organization.  Kach 
of  these  floors  is  80  by  200  feet.  The  curtain  opposite  the  main  front  contains 
the  Library,  Bureau  of  Information,  Records,  etc. 

In  the  second  story  are  located  ladies’  parlors,  committee-rooms  and 
dressing-rooms,  all  leading  to  the  open  balcony  in  front.  The  whole  second 
floor  of  the  north  pavilion  incloses  the  great  assembly-room  and  club-room. 
The  first  of  these  is  provided  with  an  elevated  stage  for  the  accommodation  of 
speakers.  The  south  pavilion  contains  the  model  kitchen,  refreshment  rooms, 
reception  rooms,  etc. 

THE  HALL  OF  MINES  AND  MINING,  also  in  Italian  Re¬ 
naissance,  is  700  feet  long  by  350  feet  wide,  the  architect  being  Mr.  S.  S. 
Beman,  of  Chicago.  In  plan  it  is  simple  and  straightforward,  embracing  on 
the  ground  floor  spacious  vestibules,  restaurants,  toilet-rooms,  etc.  On  each 
of  the  four  sides  of  the  building  are  placed  the  entrances,  those  of  the  north 
and  south  fronts  being  the  most  spacious  and  prominent.  To  the  right 
and  left  of  each  Entrance,  inside,  start  broad  flights  of  easy  stairs  leading 
to  the  galleries.  The  galleries  are  60  feet  wide  and  25  feet  high  from 
the  ground  floor,  and  are  lighted  on  the  sides  by  large  windows,  and  from 
above  by  a  high  clear-story  extending  around  the  building. 

The  mam  fronts  look  southward  on  the  Central  Court,  and  northward 
on  the  western  and  middle  lakes  and  an  island  gorgeous  with  flowers 
The  principal  fronts  display  enormous  arch  entrances,  richly  embellished  with 
sculptural  decorations  emblematic  of  mining  and  its  allied  industries.  At 
each  end  of  these  fronts  are  large  square  pavilions,  surmounted  by  low 


domes,  which  mark  the  four  corners  of  the  building,  and  are  lighted  by  large 
arched  windows  extending  through  the  galleries. 

Between  the  main  entrance  and  the  pavilions  are  richly  decorated 
arcades,  forming  an  open  loggia  on  the  ground  floor,  and  a  deeply  recessed 
promenade  on  the  gallery  floor  level,  which  commands  a  fine  view  of  the 
lakes  and  islands  to  the  northward  and  the  great  Central  Court  on  the  south. 
These  covered  promenades  are  each  25  feet  wide  and  230  feet  long,  and  from 
them  is  had  access  to  the  building  at  numerous  points.  These  loggias  on  the 
first  floor  are  faced  with  marbles  of  different  kinds  and  hues,  which  will  be 
considered  part  of  the  Mining  Exhibit,  and  so  utilized  as  to  have  marketable 
value  at  the  close  of  the  exhibition.  The  loggia  ceilings  will  be  heavily 
coffered,  and  richly  decorated  in  plaster  and  color.  The  ornamentation  is 
massed  at  the  prominent  points  of  the  fa9ade.  The  exterior  presents  a 
massive,  though  graceful,  appearance. 

THE  HORTICULTURAL  BUILDING  is  1,000  feet  long,  with 
an  extreme  width  of  250  feet.  The  plan  is  a  central  pavilion  with  two  end 
pavilions,  each  connected  with  the  central  one  by  front  and  rear  curtains  form¬ 
ing  two  interior  courts,  each  88  by  270  feet.  These  courts  are  beautifully 
decorated  in  color  and  planted  with  ornamental  shrubs  and  flowers.  The 
centre  of  the  pavilion  is  roofed  by  a  cr>'stal  dome  187  feet  in  diameter 
and  1 13  feet  high,  under  which  are  exhibited  the  tallest  palms,  bamboos,  and 
^ee  ferns  that  can  be  procured.  There  are  galleries  in  each  of  the  pavilions. 
The  galleries  of  the  end  pavilions  are  designed  for  cafes.  These  cafes  are 
surrounded  by  an  arcade  on  three  sides  from  which  charming  views  of 
the  grounds  can  be  obtained. 

In  this  building  are  exhibited  all  the  varieties  of  flowers,  plants  vines 
seeds,  horticultural  implements,  etc.  Those  exhibits  requiring  sunshine  and 
light  are  shown  m  the  rear  curtains,  where  the  roof  is  entirely  of  glass  and 
not  too  far  removed  from  the  plants.  The  front  curtains  and  space  under  the 
of  fighT  exhibits  that  require  only  the  ordinary  amount 

In  front  of  the  building  is  a  flower  terrace  for  outer  exhibits,  including 
tanks  for  Nymphma  and  Victoria  Regia. 

f  TUILDING  is  in  appearance  the  most  unique 

01  all  the  Exposition  structures.  Its  dimensions  are  200  by  500  feet.  To  a 
remarkable  degree  its  architecture  is  of  the  rustic  order.  On  all  four  sides  of 
the  building  IS  a  veranda,  supporting  the  roof  of  which  is  a  colonnade  consist- 


Ing  of  a  series  of  columns  composed  of  tree-trunks  each  25  feet  in  length,  some 
of  them  from  1 6  to  20  inches  in  diameter  and  the  others  smaller.  All  of  these 
trunks  are  left  in  their  natural  state,  with  bark  undisturbed.  They  are  con¬ 
tributed  by  the  different  States  and  Territories  of  the  Union  and  by  foreign 
countries,  each  furnishing  specimens  of  its  most  characteristic  trees.  Upon 
each  trunk  will  be  displayed  a  tablet  bearing  its  common  and  scientific  name, 
the  state  or  country  by  which  it  was  contributed,  and  other  pertinent  informa¬ 
tion,  such  as  the  appro.ximate  quantity  of  such  timber  in  the  region  whence  it 
came,  etc.  The  sides  of  the  building  are  constructed  of  slabs  with  the  bark 
removed.  The  window  frames  are  treated  in  the  same  rustic  manner  as  is 
the  rest  of  the  building.  The  main  entrances  are  elaborately  finished  in 
different  kinds  of  wood,  the  material  and  workmanship  being  contributed  by 
several  prominent  lumber  associations.  The  roof  is  thatched  with  tan  and 
other  barks.  ^  Surmounting  the  cornice  of  the  veranda  and  extending  all 
around  the  building  are  numerous  flagstaffs  bearing  the  colors,  coats-of-arms, 
etc.,  of  the  nations  and  states  represented  in  the  exhibits  inside. 

the  agricultural  building  is  situated  near  the  shore 
of  Lake  Michigan.  It  measures  500  by  300  feet,  and  the  general  cornice  line 
is  65  feet  above  grade.  On  either  side  of  the  main  entrance  are  Corinthian 
pillars,  50  feet  high  and  5  feet  in  diameter.  On  each  corner  and  from  the 
centre  of  the  building  pavilions  are  reared,  the  central  one  being  144  feet 
•square.  The  corner  pavilions  are  connected  by  curtains,  forming  a  continuous 
arcade  around  the  top  of  the  building.  The  main  entrance  leads  into  a  vesti¬ 
bule,  from  which  entrance  is  had  to  the  rotunda,  100  feet  in  diameter.  This 
is  surmounted  by  a  glass  dome  130  feet  high.  All  through  the  main  vestibule 
statuary  has  been  placed,  illustrative  of  the  agricultural  industry.  Similar 
designs  are  grouped  about  all  of  the  grand  entrances.  The  corner  pavilions 

are  surmounted  by  domes  96  feet  high,  and  above  these  tower  grand  groups 
of  statuary.  ^  v 


To  the  southward  of  the  Agricultural  Building  is  a  spacious  structure 
devoted  chiefly  to  a  Live  Stock  and  Agricultural  Assembly  Hall.  This  build¬ 
ing  contains  a  bureau  of  information,  committee  and  other  rooms  for  the 
different  live  stock  associations,  waiting-rooms,  and  on  the  second  floor  an 
Assembly  room,  which  has  a  seating  capacity  of  about  1,500.  In  this  room 
will  be  given  lectures  on  stock  raising,  agriculture,  and  allied  subjects. 

THE  FISHERIES  B UILDING  consists  of  a  large  central  structure 
with  two  smaller  polygonal  buildings  connected  with  it  on  either  end  by  ar¬ 
cades.  It  is  1,100  feet  long  and  200  feet  wide,  and  is  in  Spanish-Romanesque 
style,  an  interesting  feature  of  its  exterior  being  the  ornamental  details,  capi¬ 
tals,  brackets,  cornices,  medallions,  etc.,  for  which  the  architect,  Mr.  Henry 
Ives  Cobb,  used  only  fish  and  other  sea  forms  as  motifs  of  design. 

In  the  central  portion  of  the  building  is  the  general  Fisheries  exhibit. 
In  one  of  the  polygonal  buildings  is  the  Angling  exhibit,  and  the  other  the 
Aquaria,  ten  in  number,  with  a  capacity  of  from  7,000  to  27,000  gallons  of 
water  each.  The  glass  fronts  of  the  Aquaria  are  about  575  feet  in  length 
and  have  a  surface  of  3,000  square  feet. 

The  total  water  capacity  of  the  Aquaria,  exclusive  of  reservoirs,  is 
18,725  cubic  feet,  or  140,000  gallons.  This  weighs  1,192,425  pounds,  or 
almost  600  tons.  Of  this  amount  about  40,000  gallons  is  devoted  to  the 
Marine  e.xhibit.  In  the  entire  salt  water  circulation,  including  reservoirs,  there 
are  about  80,000  gallons.  The  pumping  and  distribution  plant  for  the  Marine 
Aquaria  is  constructed  of  vulcanite.  The  pumps  are  in  duplicate,  and  each 
as  a  capacity  of  3iOoo  gallons  per  hour.  The  supply  of  sea  water  was 
secured  by  evaporating  the  necessary  quantity  at  the  Wood’s  Holl  station  of 
the  United  States  Fish  Commission  to  about  one  fifth  its  bulk,  thus  reducing 
both  quantity  and  weight  for  transportation  about  80  per  cent.  The  fresh 

water  required  to  restore  it  to  its  pro  er  density  was  supplied  from  Lake 
Michigan.
